That chart looks very interesting, thanks!

Cheers, I'd be very curious to see your prints.

I've just had a little look on google images at some of Edwin Smith's photos, they look stunning! The light in the photos look amazing.

I still have an old Pentax K1000 film camera I think it is, I'll have to dig it out again some time :) I'd really like to get a medium format camera, but they're still not super cheap, I was looking at the Mamiya RZ67 (I'd actually like to try shooting landscape with it, which could be impractical due to the weight, but would be fun nonetheless ;).

10x8 film would be awesome to play with!

Well I did say fantasy - a sheet of 10 x 8 film is the same cost as a roll of 35mm (similar area if you think of a contact sheet).

A 35mm camera on a tripod with shutter release would allow experimentation and allow you to decide about weight and carrying for hiking. I used the long exposures mainly in buildings in a city.

My images are not on Edwin Smith's level by any means, but the movement of the Sun direction over an hour does make a sort of smoothing of the light.
